Berjaya Lake Convention Center.

Until the completion of the United Nations building in 1953, it was the temporary headquarters of the United Nations. At this moment, the atmosphere in the UN Security Council conference hall of the conference center is extraordinarily quiet.

In the face of a proposal put forward by Soviet representative Gromyko and representatives of East Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, and other countries to restore the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations, Warren Austin, a burly US permanent representative to the United Nations wearing a wrinkled brown suit, said that he agreed to submit the bill to the UN General Assembly for discussion. British Delegate Glad Waynejeb, dressed in a black suit, politely seconded the U.S. response. Jean-Pierre Schumann, France's permanent representative to the UN, said he had no objections.

UN Secretary-General Lie looked like a frightened child, his eyes wide behind his black tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, one hand in his vest pocket, and the other hand holding the documents submitted by the Chinese delegation to look at them carefully.

As the executive chairman of the General Assembly, Yugoslavia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Bebleur, smacked his lips and said with a blank face: "Since everyone has no objections, I declare that this proposal has been adopted, and according to the agenda, it will be voted on by the United Nations General Assembly in three days." ”

China's ambassador plenipotentiary to the United Nations, Qiao Guanhua, and its special envoy, General Wu Xiuwen, were immediately overjoyed. Ambassador Qiao clenched his left fist tightly, stretched out his right hand, and shook hands with Jiang Tinghuang who was sitting next to him, and he didn't say a word, but the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was already overflowing.

Three days later, on 18 May 1950, with the unanimous vote of the 58 member states present at the UN General Assembly, New China perfectly achieved its goal of restoring its lawful seat in the UN.

And it all started on May 3rd.

Let's start at the beginning......

On 3 May, Ambassador Qiao Guanhua, who had already arrived in New York on a British International Airways flight in April, and was stationed at the Soviet Embassy, had an official meeting with Chiang Ting-huang, the Kuomintang representative to the United Nations, and relevant diplomatic personnel.

When Ambassador Qiao Guanhua stepped out of the black car borrowed from the Soviet Consulate, Jiang Tinghuang, the top person in charge of the Kuomintang Consulate General in New York, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward, politely shook hands with Ambassador Qiao Guanhua and said, "Welcome, Ambassador Qiao." ”

Ambassador Qiao said with a smile: "After the liberation of Taiwan, you were able to return to the embrace of the motherland in a good way and did not cause chaos to the nation and the motherland. ”

A simple sentence made the former Kuomintang diplomats present immediately feel warm.

Ambassador Qiao entered the conference room of the consulate and sat in the main seat, and the luxurious and magnificent conference room was full of diplomatic personnel from the consulate at this time, all of whom were Kuomintang in the past, and there is no doubt that most of them were in extremely complicated feelings at this moment.

With a spring-like smile on his face, Ambassador Qiao said:

"Don't have any worries, you are all capable diplomatic talents, and the future diplomatic work of New China will inevitably depend on you to build and develop, you are all the precious wealth of the country, and the country will cherish your talents.

There should be no partisanship, but genuine unity. You must know that the Kuomintang did not die, but the corrupt Chiang Kai-shek regime died! On the contrary, the Kuomintang is now being reborn in the hands of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee under the leadership of Mr. Soong Ching-ling, and under the inspiration of the banner of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it has inherited the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, actively worked hard for the construction of New China, and played an irreplaceable and important role under the system of participation and discussion of state affairs by all parties and factions of the New China Political and Democratic Consultative Conference. ”

After saying this, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone present, and a sense of belonging suddenly appeared, and the previous panic and apprehension were also put down.

Ambassador Qiao continued to smile and said: "I came this time, and I was entrusted by Mr. Soong Qingling to collect party fees from you on her behalf. ”

After saying this, everyone in the audience immediately felt a sense of intimacy welling up, and a wonderful special feeling of intimacy unique to overseas Chinese welled up in their hearts.

Minister Jiang Tinghuang was the first to take the lead in standing up excitedly, and hurriedly dug out his pocket and said: "Mr. Qiao, I entered politics in 1935, and I have been in the Kuomintang for 15 years. When I return to China in the future, I will personally go to the party headquarters in Beidu to apologize to Mr. Song. ”

Ambassador Qiao smiled and took the US dollars that Jiang Tinghuang took out, took out the small notebook in his pocket, and solemnly recorded it: "I hereby collect the 30 US dollars owed by Jiang Tinghuang since 1935 for the party dues, everyone comes one by one, I have no change, I will refund more and make up for less in the future......

Everyone present suddenly became busy, and they took out money one after another, and a few people who didn't bring money were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they borrowed money from their colleagues around them one after another.

Ambassador Qiao did not hurry to record the list of party dues in his notebook.

After such a chaotic busyness, at this time, many Kuomintang diplomats suddenly found that they had psychologically developed a bit of cordiality with the senior official of the supply party in front of them, and felt that the elegant middle-aged man in front of them was like a friend they had already known, and they did not feel angry at all.

Ambassador Qiao collected the money and handed it to the secretary beside him. Continuing the meeting:

"Taiwan has been liberated, Chang Kaishen's reactionary regime has completely collapsed, and the Chinese people have completed the great war of liberation. At this point, China's civil war has come to an end, the motherland has returned to reunification and peace and tranquility, and the future of the United States and the arduous task of building the motherland are waiting for us to realize with our own hands. The people of the motherland and the Party Central Committee and the Administrative Council of the CPC Central Committee are paying close attention to you and hope that you will make immortal contributions to the great cause of national rejuvenation in New China. ”

Just found the organization and paid the party dues, Jiang Tinghuang hurriedly said: "Now that China is one family, all parties are united, we are all Chinese diplomats, please Mr. Qiao believe in our loyalty to the country." Under the leadership of Mr. Song, we are willing to unite and cooperate with the Party to open a new chapter in the diplomatic cause. Mr. Qiao can only say what he has to say. In addition, I would like to ask Mr. Qiao and all the new diplomats accompanying him to receive the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in the United States and other assets as soon as possible, which are all China's national assets. There is no reason for Chinese diplomats not to live in their consulates, please Mr. Qiao arrange for diplomats to move from the Soviet embassy as soon as possible, and I will arrange for everyone to stay. ”

Ambassador Joe nodded in agreement and continued:

"This time, I also brought the arrangement of the State Council, all former diplomatic personnel stationed in the United States will retain their original posts, and all past historical problems will be written off and will not be investigated, and I hope that everyone will not disappoint the expectations of the motherland and continue to work with peace of mind. In addition, Comrade Chiang Ting-huang continued to serve as minister to the United States, and together with me, he was responsible for diplomatic relations with the United States and the United Nations. In addition, the Government Council proposed that the consulate should respect everyone's personal wishes, and if there is a person who wishes to leave the country, he can apply for transfer by making a report, and the state will approve it. …………”

Then, on 5 May, the Chinese Embassy in the United States finally completed the handover and raised the five-star red flag for the first time.

Thanks to the efforts of Chinese diplomats, Ambassador Qiao met intensively with all UN member states and conveyed to them the greetings of the Chinese people and their willingness to establish diplomatic relations.

For the United States, these days are very difficult, the blitzkrieg of New China and Chang Kaishen's vulnerability have made the entire Congress disheartened, and the US government and opposition are shocked, and McCarthy and his ilk continue to jump out and ask, "Who lost Taiwan!" ”

In addition to being anxious, Truman was also extremely shocked by the reports of Robert Strong, the US consul general in Taiwan, and Walter Boone, the new commander of the Seventh Fleet.

At the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Truman said gloomily: "The Chinese received huge aid from the Soviet Union, high-performance destroyers!" Extremely fast large torpedo boats! Supersonic fighters! Jet torpedo bombers! A new submachine gun! Tank! Even the military uniforms are the latest Russian camouflage! Even the Russians' own elite troops in Europe have not had time to equip themselves with these new weapons and uniforms, and they have already given priority assistance to the Chinese! ”

Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and chief of staff of the US Army, said cautiously: "The key now is the attitude of the Chinese, if they are completely under the puppet regime under the leadership of Moscow, then this will be a huge threat to the United States and the West, and our interests throughout Southeast Asia." To my surprise, the supersonic fighters that the Russians gave to China so far have proven to be 24 units! I believe there are more than we see! And it is a pity that so far the United States itself does not have a single supersonic aircraft that can be put into real combat. As for breaking the sound barrier at an altitude of 1000 meters, it is almost impossible! The speed at which the Russians have improved their performance in aircraft development is incredible! It seems that we must increase investment in research and development, otherwise, the armed Liliang of the United States will lose air supremacy! ”
